BY BROTHER Walter Ward, Held for Murder, Denies His Guilt. EXTORTED MONEY WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, June 16 Walter S. Ward, arraigned before Justice Morschauser, pleaded not guilty today to a charge of murder growing out of his killing Clarence Peters, who. he alleges, tried to blackmail him. The original story told by Ward of I the killing of Peters was lent credence by the testimony of his brother, it was i learned. BROTHER S STORY ; SI STAINS W ARD. Ward, confessed killer of Peters, did so to end unbearable blackmail that arose from his follies at the track, according to the story told by his brother, Ralph D. Ward. Gambling more and more heavily, the millionaire baker s son had become involved with and in debt to certain undesirable hangers-cn at ! New York race meets. ; He was urged to bet more and more, . and each time he lost and went deeper in i debt. He was commissioner of the New i Rochelle police and a prominent citizen I whose early record furnished the blaekfhallers with what they considered a lever to extort more money. Ward was easy prey. Then a threat was made involving exposure of another member of the Ward family. Ward had no choice to pay, his brother said. He paid at one time $30.(00, it is believed, in a desperate effort to quiet his persecutors. MADE HIS LIFE j “A LIVING HELL," The !#ickmailers. known to Ward as "Jack" ®nd "Ross." made Ward's life a living hell, according to his brother. They were at him each day. with new threats and more exorbitant demands. They lnvad#i his office at the Ward Baking Company and talked loudly of affairs at the track, urging him to bet while he made vain efforts to quiet them lest employes hear them. Nearly distracted by the persecution. Ward nevertheless was forced to refuse ! the blackmailers’ demands for $75,000. | He hadn't the money available, he said, j Then the threats of "Jack” and “Ross'* | became more violent. They threatened ! to expose still another member of the j Ward family They declared they would ; tell of Ward's own early life and of an incident he wished to conceal. Finally, the night before the kiting of Peters, the blackmailers lured Ward to a lonely spot near White Plains, according to bis brother's story. As he left hurriedly in his coupe after an angry meeting, they -fired two shots at him. The next night Ward went armed to a rendezvous. It was on this second occasion, his brother believes, that Ward shot Peters In self-defense. Lenin Is Ordered to Sanitarium by Doctor BERLIN.

Marconi Hears Sounds on Listening for Mars Wireless Expert Reports Strange Experience on Board His Yacht.

ABOARD MARCONI’S PRIVATE YACHT ELETTRA, HUDSON RIVER. June 16. —Mysterious sounds came from out the ether to the powerful but delicately tuned receiving sets In Senor William Marconi's private cabin during his fortnight's vigil on the Atlantic, awaiting messages from Mars. But the visiting planet, closer now than for nine years, failed to communicate with the earth, the inventor said, on arrival off Now York today. "I listened practically all the timeday and night for two week's," Marconi said. "I had my own instruments ready so they would receive from anybody, no matter where, who might send. “Several times I heard mysterious sounds I conld not understand or explain. I do not think they were from Mars. In fact, I am not certain if Martians are trying to communicate. But I was there to do everything possible to record messages if any were sent. “I shall continue to try to receive communications from Mars, however slight the chances of such a feat. "Sunday, when the planet comes closest to us. I shall be ‘on the job' as you say ail day and will pay every attention to piok up possible message from the Mar? tians.” Senor Marconi was accompanied on his voyage which had its inception in the possibility of receiving radio waves from

LEGION’S AID PROMISED TO LABOR UNION Vets’ Head Speaks to A. F. of L. in Meeting-. BATTLE TOGETHER Rail Strike Looms as Certainty in Near Future. CONVENTION HALL, CINCINNATI, Ohio, June' 16.—Organized labor gained an ally today in the American Legion to baitle the common enemy of all America, "those who seek do tear down the lawful integrity of our Nation.'* Hanford MacNider, commander of the millions of veterans of the World War, addressing the convention, placed the influence of the American Legion back of the labor movement and pleaded for a “real American" fight to combat its enemies “by resort to the ballot.” A railroad strike on or about July I is now regarded by labor leaders here as Inevitable, unless the Government intervenes to prevent it. Revision by the United States Labor Board of the receutly announced wage scales for railroad shop crafts and maintenance of railway employes, is the only thing that can prevent a paralysis of transportation, a railroad union spokes man said today. Furthermore, it was stated, the unions would insist on assurances that the labor board require the railroads to agree to "full and free" conferences on adjustment of disputes over wages and working conditions. Some of the union leaders here representing the eleven shop crafts and maintenance of railway workers believe President Harding will avert the strike at the last moment by using his influence to have the labor board hold up the pay reductions which were ordered for July l. With the unions voting overwhelmingly for a strike, according to announcement from union headquarters here, the leaders are formally and publicly on record as refusing to accept responsibility for the strike.

The exploslou shattered windows on the third floor. The building is owned by the Hans estate and the Fishhack company recently obtained a ninety-nine -year lease. John Fishhack. a member of Hie company, said the loss was fully covered by Insurance. Barrels of soda phosphate and sacks of corn sugar stored near the lockei room were badly damaged by water. The salvage corpis covered merchandise on the other floors and prevented heavy water damage. Tfce metal fire doors in the two walls on both sides of the section of the building where the fire occurred were closed and these prevented the flames from spreading.

They told how the perfector of the wireless telegraph was constantly in his little cabin, which is the most perfectly equipped radio room in the world—half convinced that messages from Mars might be forthcoming. Marconi, standing by the wheel of his yacht as he swung up the harbor, spoke of this latest invention, nearly perfected, which will enable him to send wireless waves in any given direction, instead of broadcasting. He declared he now is able to send a 100 miles "straight ahead” to a receiver and be uninterrupted.— Copyright, 1922. by United Press.

Vote Recounters Nearig Sjrike TABU BATING VOTE FOR NEGRO Are Unable to Meet His Demands

A "strike" of the men who are recounting the ballots cast in the recent primary election for Republican nominations to the General Assembly was averted today and postponed at least until Monday. The three men comprising the board formally came into Circuit Court and protested they were not receiving enough money to support theli families and they were pnysk-ally un able to .perform the duties demanded oi them by Thoraa* Dexter, negro, contesting a nomination to the Legislature. They asserted Dexter had paid them only $25 each and had told another negro, who later quit his position as watcher, he was unable to pay the men in case he lost. They have been working for four weeks and are only half way through Dexter also demanded the counters work constantly and continuously for twelve to eighteen hours a day, objecing to their taking short rests and to tne long time they took to eat dinner, and to the speed with which they were counting the ballots. Harry O. Chamberlain, Judge of Circuit Court, severely rebuked the negro candidate for calling Paul li. Brewer, a white man and member of the board, a "staller" and saying he, Dexter, did not believe he was being treated fairly. Judge Chamberlain pointed out to Dexter his being allowed in the room In which the recount was being conducted was merely a courtesy extended to him and he had no right to regulate or control the action of the board. The court characterized Dexter's remark as "highly Improper." It is understood generally Dexter is backed by a trades organization of which he Is an official and by members of- the negro race. He is to be financially unable to pay in the event he Is unsuccessful in his contest. This would necessitate litigation to secure the pay of the commissioners. It is said the $75 which Dexter gave the three members qf the board was obtained through collections lu negro churches. The amount of the bond which Dexter

Rolllnson said the charges of failure to support the constitutions of the United States and of the State of Indiana, and many charges alleging unscrupulous practices are too general and he wishes to know exactly with what he is charged.

LONG FIGHT ENDS Marked by none of the tenseness and bitterness of feeling which had characterized meetings of the hoard of school commissioners for the last few weeks, the board met today and confirmed the recommendations of E.

This action brings to an end the efforts of the majority faction of the board to deprive the superintenent of his legal right to name teachers and execut've officers in his department. The J• ~ii 1 r is a victor- j. r the superintendent. The three assistant superintendents named by Dr. Graff are E. R. Ray. Miss Flora Drake and D. T. Weir.

The name of Miss Elsa Huebner, principal of school No. 9. who is said to have been favored by Dr. Marie Haslep. board member, for one of she po sitions, was not even mentioned at the meeting. Adolph F.mhardt, another board mem ber. made a strong plea for the naming of Miss Georgia Alexander, one of the deposed district superintendents, as one of the three assistants. Mr. Gruff stood firm on liis recommeudatiops and they went through. Having won out on tne principle at issue the superintendent acquiesced in a number of changes in assignments of principals of the various schools. There was no change in the personnel made, but some of the principals were chitted from one school to another. The list of principals as finally approval by the board was as follows: Addle Wright.

BRYAN DIPS BLOTTER IN SBIPMUDDLE Condemns Violation of Volstead Act by Uncle Sam. ‘NOT NECESSARY!’ ‘Why Prohibit Legger,’ He Asks, ‘if U. S. SellsJT?’ NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 16.—William Jennings Bryan has thrown his influence into the fight between Adolphus Busch and Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board, relative to the serving of liquors on American vessels. In an interview given out here he strongly opposed the “breaking of the law.' as be termed it, because of financial or other expediencies. Mr. Bryan said: “First, it has not been demonstrated that the carrying of liquor is necessary for the success of the ships. The action was taken upon the opinion of a few men without the authority of Congress and without public discussion. There is no sufficient reason to beUeve that failure to carry liquor would discourage travel. “Y'ou cannot take the opinion of a wet on any fact connected with the liquor traffic. They see only one side and believe anything that is said on that side. “Second, if it is competition with other ships that compels the Uinted States to violate its own laws, it is possible to enforce our laws on any ships that enter or clear from our ports. We can deny entrance or clearance to any ship that violate our laws within the three mile “Third, if it were true that the ships would lose pecuniarily, if they obeyed the law. it would be better for the United States to stand the loss than to set an example of violating of law, especially if it has to justify the violation on a pecuniary basis. If the United States can sell liquor for the purpose of making money, why prohibit the bootlegger:” FARMERS MAY SELLPRODUCTS ALONGSTREET City Market Master Announces Plan to Launch Producers’ Exchange.
